Washington, March 8.--"There ls no amendment to the Webb bill or any part of the bill which forbids the shipment of liquor into South Caro lina, or any other State, when that commodity is shipped in in conform ity to State laws." This statement was made here last night by Representative E. Y. Webb, of North Carolina, author of the Webb liquor bill, when asked specifi cally whether or not the enforcement of this law would forbid the ship men* of liquor Into South Carolina. "This law," Mr. Webb continued, "only makes more perfect the en forcement of the present State laws by throwing safeguards around them in such a way as to render them leBB liable to be violated, but in a Stale like South Carolina there is nothing that will prevent the shipment of 11 quoi there so long as the State per mits it. There need be no fear that the dispensaries will suffer or that any private person will suffer so long as the State law ls not violated." Senator Tillman said: "The Webb law is in effect, but not in language, the same measure that I introduced In the Senate 16 years ago, but on which I Failed to get a favorable com mittee report. It simply provides that liquor shall not be shipped into any State in violation of the laws of that State. This will not affect the shipment of liquor to the dispensaries nor to private parties In South Caro lina, except for uses which are at present unlawful." The full text of the law ls as fol lows: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Uni ted States of America, in Congress assembled, That the shipment or transportation, in any manner or by any means whatsoever, of any si^'it uous, vinous, malted, fermented o? other intoxicating liquor of any '..nul from one State, Territory or district of the United States or place non-con tiguous to. but subject to the Juris diction thereof, Into any other State, Territory or district of the United States or place non-contiguous to but subject to the jurisdiction thereof, which said spirituous, vinous, malted, fermented or other intoxicating li quor Is intended by any person inter ested therein, to be received, pos sessed, sold or in any manner used, either in original package or other wise, in violation of any law of such State, Territory or district of the United States or place non-contiguous to but subject to the jurisdiction thereof, is hereby prohibited." Some objection to the bill in Con gress was based on the fact that it provides no penalty for violation, but it ts likely that Inter-State railroads and express companies will obey the law, notwithstanding this fact. Some liquor .has already been confiscated under the new law in Oklahoma, a dry State, by State officers. Hindu Village Schools. (World Wide Magazine.) The old-fashioned primary nchools for Hindu village boys and girls are known as "pial" schools, and are very primitive. The school room is usually either an old abandoned tem ple or any house or veranda lent to the schoolmaster by some well-to-do resident. The boys attend these schools from their fifth year, and are .taught reading, writing, arithmetic, and poetry, with the proper intona tion. They learn the alphabet by writing with their fingers on fine sand spread before them on the ground, or they scribble on slates with chalk or on papier mache with water colors. The leaf of the fan-pain is also made use of, the boys writing on it with styles. Teacher and pupils sit on mats. When the alphabet rfoJ^been mastered they begin to reaa short stories, which are recited in a slow, sing-song way that soon Jars in the European's nerves. The teacher usually gets his pay In the form of rice or vegetables, according to the occupation of the parents; very few pay in money. Annual presents are also given to the teacher during the harvest celebrations, .which occur soon after Christmas.

Another One of Burbank's Products. (Home and Farm.) Luther Burbank invented, thirty five years ago, the Burbank potato, tit leaat We calls it an invention; oth ers call it a development. Whatever lt is, it has added im mensely to the value of the potato crop. Seventeen million? is one esti mate as to the. annual value of this potato. It ls now said thut Burbank has brought to a successful conclu sion a number of other experiments in agriculture, which his associates declare, "when known, will reduce the cost of living, remove the cause of social unrest, increase the product of the soil, the wealth of the nation and add in a thousand ways to hu man comfort, progress and happi ness." The secretary of the Luther Bur bank Society declares that one of these experiments relates to corn cul ture. Corn, Tor Instance, says this prospectus, "ls America's biggest crop. To aid only one kernel to the ear of corp means a five million bushel crop Increase. In the best corn States corn grows from 8 to 10 .feet high. It bears an average of slightly less than two ears to the stalk. "During the past summer Luther Burbank on his Santa Rosa farm has grown cora 16 feet in height ?nd boarjng 32 ears to the stalk." In a little sketch of Burbank it is declared that before he graduated from bl? teens he was having roast ing ears ready for the Pittsburg mar ket two weeks ahead or his neighbors and getting from $5 to $6 moro for a one-horse wagon load of extra early sweet corn. He did that, he says, by germinating the corn before planting it. These are matters of great inter est, ahd the country, especially the farmers, will look for further infor mation on these points.
